...but not that, though it is Ferrari-based.

What's this, who built it, when and for whom - for 1 point?:

Was a 76 365 GT4 2+2 chs 19235 which had 6000 hrs lavished /wasted on it by Daddarios coachbuilders of Turin in early '80s to turn it into this open sportster...bit confusing as to who it was done for , Brooks Hercules of Rome ,though recent seller Ercole Torrenti said he got it built ?

My source said it was built for Ercole Torrenti too, so we'll settle for that one.

This reply made me think. I did know that car and in fact it was earmarked for my puzzle NEH 4328.
However, comparing it with this puzzle shows it to be the same car..
Yet it's purportedly much earlier and is described as a 250 Testa Rossa based on a 1962 GTE - a far cry from the puzzle car!
I can't find any other reference to this 'Giordannengo' car so is it a scam or what?! The puzzle I was going to post is pictured below along with the unmodified picture of the subject of this puzzle:
